The purpose of the the Economic Policy Centre (EPC) is to promote high quality research and debate across all areas of economics in a free democratic society.

The EPC's vision is to close the gap between economic policy and knowledge. Ultimately it brings together economic opinion formers - in academia, business, the media and government - in new and innovative ways.

Gwent Police have now updated their information to include Burglary for January – we need to go back and reload the last few months it was missing, when that information is available. Still no update from City of London Police.

A couple of months ago, we alerted the Home Office to the missing crime data of Gwent Police for which they thanked us and flagged up on their data page a bit later. Basically, missing burglary counts and some other omissions. This has a downstream impact on postcodes and other shapes covered by that area – they typically start with NP. So please be aware that if you are seeing record drops in burglary counts for that area, it’s more likely that the data has not been submitted yet We aim to correct this as soon as the data becomes available.
